The 72 hour residential program is usually a requirement following an OVI arrest in the Miami County Municipal Court. The judges trust the programs to assess the drug and alcohol patterns of an individual before them on an alcohol related offense. If the counselors at the 72 hour program determine that additional treatment is necessary, they will relay their conclusions to the court. The court may then make follow-up treatment a condition of probation.

Judges have been told that 87% of the people who attend the 3-day program will not reoffend. This is why it is a typical judicial requirement. It is not uncommon for the court to order this program even if the charge of OVI has been dismissed, or reduced. Ask your Miami County OVI attorney about the program.
